CLEVELAND AND FEE WAX

AS some politicians are endeavering
10 creute pr, juiice against the Presi-
dent because he sent substitute to the
war, the Brooklyn Eagle tells how it
Happened that lie did not enter the
aIay. On the breaking out Of the war
Grover Cleveland and his two brothers
decided that two Of them should enter
tie army Of the Union and one stay
home to take care for their widowed
mother and sister. The lot to stay fell
on Grover Cleveland. His brothers en-.
tered the army, served bravely and with
credit TO the end OF che war, and several
years after wore lost at sca. Young
Cleveland discharged the trust devolyed
on him, but was, however, drafted. He
induced a sailor on the lake to go rs
bis substitute. Tie substitute served
hon0rably until the close of the var,
without stain on his record, and re-
turned to private life. Mr.. Cleveland
borrowed Of friends the money to pay
the bounty of tie substitute, and by
two years hard saving repaid the loan.

Going TO Washington to Play Before
President Cleveland and His Cabinet.
Manager A. NJ. Palmer, of the Madison
Square Theater, has received an honor that
seldom falls to the lot Of o theatrical man.
He has been invited by President Cleveland
and large number Of prominent officials at
Washington to make flying trip with his
"Jlm the Penman" Company, and give one
performance at the national capital. From
the letter Mr.. Palmer received from Presl-
dent Cleveland 1t seems that the marvellous
success OF the play that now holds the
boards at the Madison Square has reached
long distance beyond New York. Mr. Pal
mer has determined TO show his company
at their best, and he will take every MEM
ber along on special train. Even the
scenery and stage settings that now form
one OF the attractions at his theater here
will be rushed over the Pennsylvania road
and back again to complete the details Of
the performance.
A curious incident very nearly caused
Mr.. Palmer TO decline the Invitation from
Washington. For some time Fred Robin
son. who takes the part Of Jim, has been
hampered with terrific cold. II was With
difficulty that he could 90 through with his
part and Mr.. Palmer began to get worried.
Somehow be caught fresh cold as fast as
be got over his last one. When the letter
came from Washington Mr.. Robinson said
that they would have to count him out, be-
cause night trip would give him pneu-
monia. That same afternoon Mr.. Palmer
had been having trouble with his throat
and had such q cold he could hardly speak.

troches at the suggestion of friend and
they dissipated the sore throat. He care.
lessly handed over what was left OF the box
TO "Jim the Penman.n At the end of the
second act that night, while Mr.. Palmer
was thinking over the Washington trip, the
following note was sent into the boxoilice
from the stage:
Pm all ready for Washington or any other
place. Those K.Wrcns have knocked my cold
| out In the fist round. FRED ROBINSON.
The property man has been ordered to
keep half dozen boxes OF the remarkable
cough remedy among his treasures and a
big bottle Of K-Wren Balsam on tap at all
times In the future.
These wonderful K.Wren remedies,
which are effecting such marvellous cures
of all forms Of bronchial and nasal disease,

box. The cough balsam, which is far more
powerful than the troches, sells at so cents
